Beschrijving
In "Power and Plenty," the authors Kevin H. O'Rourke and Ronald Findlay explore the intricate relationship between commerce, conflict, and the evolution of the global economy throughout the second millennium. Through a comprehensive analysis, they chart the way trade has shaped and been shaped by political power dynamics, providing insights into the forces driving both economic expansion and historical strife.
The narrative delves into pivotal moments where trade routes fueled economic prosperity, revealing the benefits and disruptions caused by military conquests and territorial disputes. By tracing the historical intersection of trade and warfare, the authors illustrate how these elements have influenced national interests and contributed to the rise and fall of empires.
With a richly detailed examination of historical events, "Power and Plenty" offers readers a nuanced understanding of how trade has not only fostered wealth but also sowed discord, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the complexities of global economics and history.
